Pros

The salary is great compared to other stores, their system is efficient, depending on location you can either enjoy the work or not enjoy the work though

Cons

Some locations don't afford you the time to counsel patients, some technicians act like they can play pharmacist and try to give you attitude. Upper management could communicate better. Seems like a dog-eat-dog world at times. Drive-throughs are the worst.

Pros

So far so good I don’t have too many problems on the job. I actually like going in every day..

Cons

The only cause of the cons that come with a job with people don’t come into work.

Pros

Can be a fun environment. All in whom your staff is. Operating photo was fun and building projects for the customers. Learning about pharmacy operations.

Cons

Work life balance and low pay for what is expected. Not having enough payroll to effectively run a store. My store ran FE on a 320 hour a week budget. That was barely enough to get buy and meet the expectations put out by the company. I was never able to keep a full leadership staff. When a leader called out, I had to stay. There were days I was called away from my own dinner table. SM's were forced to be in the pharmacy for more than half of their day regardless as to what is happening in the FE. I worked over 50 hours a week and barely got to spend time with my family. If I wasn't at the store I was getting a phone call and having to go back to the store.
